House of Ore - part 3

Bell Island (Colar #4), 24" x 24", o/p, Steven Rhude

On June 30, 1966, the iron ore mine of Bell Island, Newfoundland, ceased operations.
That day miner 585 penned these words: “But now the game is over; They’re not playing anymore. We must wander like the Nomads, off to Galt (Cambridge, Ontario) and Labrador.”  - Miner 585, Alison O’Brien


 Miner 585, Alison O’Brien. “The Brighter Side”. 30 June 1966. The city of Galt, a vibrant manufacturing centre of 33,000 in 1966, is located in south-western Ontario, and along with the nearby communities of Preston and Hespeler, formed the city of Cambridge after amalgamation in 1973.
